Cerebral horror film not for everyone...

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2003)

If there's one thing that can be said about "28 Days Later," it's that it's not for everyone. People seeking your usual zombie horror fluff will be very disappointed, whereas those seeking something fresh, dark, and intelligent will be greatly pleased.
The film takes place in England where a virus referred to simply as Rage has killed off most of the people, turning them into violent, mindless beings. This serves as a backdrop to the real story, which is about survival during threatening times for man, and how we humans can rely on no one but ourselves to survive.
It's a dark, harrowing film that should hold the interest of anybody looking for something with a different style and scope than is usually found in modern-day horror. It's a very good film that you'll either like a lot or won't get at all.
***1/2 out of ****.
